The power is undoubtedly there, but Steve just has to make better contact. I'm sure he knows this, and will work on getting his batting average up between now and spring training. |

Chappy has fallen as far as you can fall. At this point, he needs to have a really good August to convince the Brewers to promote him in 2009. This must really suck for Stephen, who is surely looking forward to playing anywhere other than Space Coast Stadium. |

Strike out totals and a low batting average have been worrisome since April, though his power potential in undeniable. I'm still kind of confused as to why he's being Brantley'd (stuck at first base). |

Stephen is paying a big P50 price this month for a brutal May that coincided with others just behind him in last month's rankings enjoying success. Hopefully he bounces back soon. |

3TO! 3TO! 49% of his AB's end in a K, a HR, or a walk. At the moment, the 40 K's are baring the bulk of that percentage, but Steve is a legit power prospect who should hit 30 homers somewhere someday. |

Has played a lot of first base recently. He'd probably be an above-average defender there, but he has much more value in the outfield. Hopefully the Brewers are just trying to test his versatility. |

Steve's an all or nothing kind of guy, but when he's on, he's got major league power. He was a late addition to the Hawaii league after Errecart's injury. |

With 8 more bombs in July, Chapman has firmly placed himself on the prospect map with impressive back-to-back seasons. |

Chapman seems to battle with his approach from time-to-time, but his .485 SLG complements his other numbers nicely. |

Steve's starting to fall into a bit of an all-or-nothing trap (.146 in his last ten games), but he's been an important power cog (pun intended) in the West Virginia lineup. |

After three years in rookie ball, Steve is finally in A ball (ignore those 17 ab’s last year) and dominating, with an .865 OPS. |

Very good season repeating rookie ball in Helena, should earn a starting role with West Virginia next year |

Steve has a fight on his hands to make the West Virginia roster - most other years, he'd not only be on that roster, he'd be starting for sure |

I'm think about starting a spinoff off of the Power 50 called The Centerfield 10, at the bottom of which would be Steve Chapman (although to be on the list at all is a great accomplishment) |
